The hoo-ha about George Osborne, Peter Mandelson and a yacht-owning Russian billionaire threw up an interesting snippet this weekend that I wasn't aware of before.

Back when David Cameron became leader of the Tory party, much was made of the old Etonian's membership - along with Odious, er, sorry, Osborne - of Oxford's horribly elitist Bullingdon Club, complete with a picture off the toff and his priggish mates.

So horrified was the party that the little people like you and me might be aghast by the idea that the Tories are - gasp - the party of the rich, "someone" bought the copyright of the picture in question to prevent it ever from being printed again. I wonder why?

Ah well. Sue me...

* Just ever so slightly ironic that Cameron is "number two", eh? And look at ickle Boris down at number eight...
